Married – On Tuesday, April 18, at the City Hall, Chicago, Ill., occurred the marriage of Mr. Harry E. Allensworth of Independence, Iowa to Miss Nettie Weber of this city.

The bride was well and favorably known throughout this community, having been born and raised in Nashua, and the womanly qualities this young woman possesses are sufficient to insure happiness in the home over which she will now preside.

The groom was a few years ago in the employ of the Illinois Central Railroad Company as operator at this place, and during his residence in Nashua made many friends by his quiet, industrious manner.

Mr. And Mrs. Allensworth went immediately after their marriage to Independence, where they will make their future home. Mr. Allensworth being employed as express agent at place.

That their married life may be a long, happy and prosperous one is the wish of their Nashua Friends.

To the Patrons of the Reporter – Having purchased Miss Murray's interest in The Reporter, with this issue I take up my work and abode here. I have been connected with paper work for the past 8 years. I am confident that this is a good field for paper work, in fact it is shown on the pages of the Reporter, and I hope the new member of the firm will have the good will and assistance which was accorded the retiring member of the old firm. Expecting to make Nashua my home, I shall make it my duty to work for her interests. I will be very glad to meet and make the acquaintance of all the patrons of the Reporter, and the citizens of Nashua and vicinity. Yours truly, George E. Ellison.

There was such excitement and babble of ------ as to make confusion noice confounded.

This the overseer and relatives, his father and two brothers, absolutely refused to do, and Dr. Rawlins said he would surely die there.

Dr. Hewitt of Charles City, who arrived about 9 o'clock. They dressed his head and made the poor boy as comfortable as possible, and both physicians decided he would have to be removed to better quarters.
